Accessibility and assistance

The organizing team aims to make the camp as inclusive and integrative as possible to ensure maximum participation. Since the team is not personally affected by many barriers, we have developed our concept based on experiences from previous camps and feedback from those directly affected.

This text is a living document, as we are still in the planning phase of the camp, and things may change depending on our capacities and financial situation. We hope to provide clarity on all measures as soon as possible.

At the info tent, you can get information about all camping areas, events, and accessibility measures. We also offer guided tours of the camp, during which all important locations will be shown and there will be an opportunity to ask questions about the camp and its accessibility.

Please come to the info tent if you are unable to sleep at the camp, need to store medication in a cool place, or if there is anything else we can do to make your stay easier.

If you’re not feeling comfortable at the camp, please don’t hesitate to visit our awareness tent. There you’ll also find a quiet space or a neuro-inclusive tent.

To make the meadow on the campgrounds more accessible, we will lay down ground plates. We are also planning to provide an accessible toilet.

In the awareness area, you will find a tent for resting and retreating if the sensory input at the camp becomes overwhelming.

Parts of our program will be accompanied by professional sign language interpreters. The specific events are still being planned.

Our website is available in both German and English and is screen-reader compatible.

We are planning to offer safer spaces, as well as FLINTA* and men’s plenaries. The staff at the info tent can provide you with more information upon request. You can also get details there about the different camping areas—for example, if you identify as FLINTA* and prefer to pitch your tent in a FLINTA* area.

Regarding discrimination, which we consider a form of barrier as well, we refer to our Code of Conduct. Since we aim to amplify marginalized voices, we also strive to have a maximally diverse lineup of speakers.

Unfortunately, our capacities and financial resources are limited, which means we are unable to implement some of the accessibility measures we would have liked to. We cannot offer full sign language interpretation, transcription, or simultaneous translation. We also do not have a guidance system in place at the camp, and signs and postings do not include Braille.

To continuously improve, we are grateful for feedback from the perspective of those affected! Your input can help make future camps even better. Visit us at the info tent during the camp or leave your feedback kontakt@mobiwende.camp .
